A Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled，Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HS-10353 in Participants With Postpartum Depression
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with HS-10353 reduces depressive symptoms in participants with postpartum depression (PPD) compared to placebo as assessed by the change from baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) total score at Day 15. And the secondary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HS-10353 compared to placebo as assessed by the incidence of adverse events, clinical laboratory evaluations, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), and the 20-item Physician Withdrawal Checklist (PWC-20).

A Controlled Clinical Trial of Group Acupuncture Therapy VS Chiropractor Group Therapy to Reduce Anxiety and Depression in People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A).
This study aims to determine and compare acupuncture therapy and chiropractor group therapy to reduce anxiety and depression among HIV/AIDS patients at Being Alive, Los Angeles. In this controlled clinical trial, a total of 30 patients will be divided into two groups, 15 in the acupuncture therapy group, 15 in the chiropractor group therapy. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), The Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7- item scales (GAD-7) will be used as screening tools for depressive and anxiety symptoms respectively.

Targeting Large-scale Networks in Depression With Real-time fMRI Neurofeedback
The purpose of this study is to develop a technique called real time fMRI neurofeedback. This technique uses a functional MRI scanner, except that special software allows the researchers to measure activity in participants brain, using fMRI, and then give information, in the form of a feedback signal, which indicates brain activity in real time, while in the MRI scanner. The larger goal of this study is to develop ways to help people, including those with depression, better regulate brain activity. The researchers think that this may be helpful in managing psychiatric symptoms. This study design has three phases, however, only two phases (phase 2 and 3) are considered to be a clinical trial. Therefore, this registration will include phase 2 at this time.

Network-based Real-time Neurofeedback Using Ultra-high Field MRI to Reduce Rumination Levels in Depression
Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) exhibit increased levels of rumination (i.e. repetitive thinking and focus on negative mood states) which have been found to increase the risk of depressive relapse. The ability to reduce rumination levels among these patients is greatly needed. Rumination is known to be associated with the default mode network (DMN) region activity. Implementing the Dependency Network Analysis (DEPNA), a recently developed method by the research team to quantify the connectivity influence of network nodes, found that rumination was significantly associated with lower connectivity influence of the left medial orbitofrontal cortex (MOFC) on the right precuneus, both key regions within the DMN. This study implements the first real-time fMRI neurofeedback (Rt-fMRI-NF) network-based protocol for up-regulation of the MOFC influence on the precuneus in patients with MDD to reduce rumination levels. This will allow for more accurate explicit brain connections modulation than the standard single brain region activity; creating a larger opportunity for target clinical neuromodulation treatment in individuals with MDD.

Safety of Maraviroc for Post-stroke Depression (Proof-of-concept)
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a barrier to effective rehabilitation and recovery after stroke. Current treatment options are limited and there is an unmet need for specific and effective therapeutic options. Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of Maraviroc, a CCR5 antagonist, as a possible add-on treatment option for PSD, in an open-labeled proof-of-concept clinical trial. Design, Setting, and Participants: A 10-week trial of daily oral 300 mg Maraviroc in ten patients with subcortical stroke suffering from PSD. Follow-up: eight weeks after completing treatment. Main Outcome Measure: A change in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS).

Research on the Biological Mechanism of the Efficacy of Psychotherapy for Depression Based on the Near-Infrared Functional Imaging System (fNIRS)
In this project, the investigators will implement medication therapy, psychotherapy, and a combination of medication therapy with psychotherapy, specifically utilizing IPT, in patients with depression. Simultaneously, the investigators will conduct comprehensive fNIRS assessments on all patients to evaluate changes in their brain function and determine the level of effectiveness of psychotherapy. The investigators will also employ standardized psychological assessments to evaluate patients, allowing for a comparison of the effectiveness of fNIRS assessments and providing clarity on the efficacy of psychotherapy in patients with depression, as the investigatorsll as the differential efficacy of different treatment approaches, and establishing the biological markers of psychotherapy. Additionally, the investigators will collect blood samples, cranial magnetic resonance images, and electroencephalograms from patients before and after treatment, which will contribute to further exploration of treatment mechanisms in the future.

Preventing Depression of Chinese American Adolescents Through Mobile Health Application
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if a culturally sensitive mobile health application (Relax, Reflect, Empower-RRE) is feasible and effective in promoting psychological wellbeing and reducing depressive symptoms among Chinese American adolescents (CAA). We will conduct a pilot study of a community sample of 110 CAAs, ages 14-18. We will use adaptive randomization to assign 55 participants to the RRE intervention for 5 days/week for 3 months and 55 to the control group who will receive a wellness check-in text message 5 days/week for 3 months. The main aims/research questions are, 1) To evaluate feasibility and acceptability of RRE. Assessments include both subjective (CAAs' perceptions of feasibility and acceptability of RRE through Mobile Application Rating Scale and open-ended questions) and objective (CAAs' frequency and duration of RRE access automatically recorded) measures. Our hypothesis is that participants in the RRE group will find RRE feasible and acceptable. 2) To investigate CAAs' changes in depressive symptoms, coping self-efficacy, and psychological wellbeing. We will compare if these changes differ in the RRE group and control group. Participants in both RRE and control groups will complete measures of outcomes (depression, coping self-efficacy, psychological wellbeing) and influencing factors (acculturative stress, experiences of discrimination, life events) at three time points: baseline, the end of the preventive intervention (the12th week), and one-month after the intervention (the16th week). Our hypothesis is that CAAs in the RRE group will exhibit lower levels of depressive symptoms and higher levels of coping self-efficacy and psychological well-being in Weeks 12 and 16 than the baseline. Additionally, CAAs in the RRE group will exhibit greater improvement than the control group in the outcome measures from baseline to Weeks 12 and 16.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and Depression Among Menopausal Women: A Randomized Control Trial
Considering physical and psychological problems that threaten women during the menopausal period, it seems that therapies that can help women cope with these problems, especially psychological ones, will be useful. The community mental health nurse is usually the first health professional whom women rely on to relieve their menopause symptoms. It is essential for the primary health care nurse to know how to properly approach women at this stage of their life and how to provide them the best and safe treatment. Because only limited interventional studies have been done to manage insomnia and depression among menopausal women in Egypt, the present study focused on reducing and insomnia and depression of menopausal women by using group Cognitive behavioral therapy. The current study aimed to examine the efficiency of group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia and depression among menopausal women.
